New urology book: Bridging European and American evidence-based perspectives
Released in late July, the new urological book Primer on Urology has been edited by two of the field’s most respected figures: Prof. Chris Chapple (GB), former Secretary General of the EAU, and Prof. Alan Wein (US), a renowned North American urologist from the Perelman Centre for Advanced Medicine. This collaboration marked a milestone in bridging European and American perspectives on urological care, offering a truly international and evidence-based reference for professionals across the globe.
Organised into 26 sections, and 108 chapters, Primer on Urology reflects the most up-to-date scientific thinking and practice, integrating the annually updated EAU Guidelines with insightful commentaries from senior North American urologists. This approach ensures readers receive a balanced and global view of the specialty.
A ‘living’ e-book
What makes this publication especially unique is its intent to become a ‘living’ book - a continuously evolving resource that will be updated regularly to reflect the latest advancements in urological science and clinical practice. This forward-thinking design ensures its long-term relevance for both current and future generations of clinicians.
The Primer on Urology is designed with both urology residents and practicing urologists in mind. Each chapter is written in a concise, accessible format, offering not only essential foundational knowledge but also practical, evidence-based updates on the latest in diagnostics, therapeutics, and surgical techniques. From oncology and infections to paediatrics, sexual dysfunction, robotics, and transplantation, no topic is left uncovered.
Among the featured topics are:
- Prostate and bladder cancer, including advanced and experimental treatments
- Upper tract urothelial carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma
- Paediatric urology, adrenal gland disease, and male infertility
- Advanced surgical techniques, robotic innovations, and emerging technologies
- Neurogenic and non-neurogenic lower urinary tract symptoms
- Renal transplantation and urological trauma
- Comprehensive infection management and antimicrobial strategies
Each section is curated by leading section editors and written by an international cohort of contributors who are experts in their respective areas. Chapters are evidence-driven, enriched with clinical insights, and referenced against current guidelines and peer-reviewed literature.
